Thanks, Matthew! I was happy to investigate this, on behalf of all LORT SMs. 

To all: Please keep in mind that this is how EQUITY will interpret the rule. Your mileage, with your manager/producer, may vary. ;)

And that is always going to be the case every time . . . 

and this is a big plug to go to the union.

what if the best "thing" in the situation is a bit of bending the rules or the rules are unclear on the situation at hand . . . if you are for it, the actors are for it, and you even got the General Manager aboard it - take it to the union and explain.

Just for the record: I love Ruth too!
And I'm glad to hear that a consensus was reached by LORT Reps nationwide.

Happy Holidays Everyone !!!
